Replay (Crosby, Stills & Nash album)

Replay is the sixth album by Crosby, Stills & Nash and their second retrospective, appearing in 1980 on the Atlantic Records label. It contains no material with Neil Young, but does from CSN solo projects. It peaked at #122 on the Billboard 200, their first album not to chart in the top ten, and is currently out of print.

Background

In 1980, Stephen Stills invited Graham Nash to accompany him on a tour of Europe, both subsequently deciding to record songs together in this unexplored permutation of CSNY. The label, however, wanted more CSN product, and with the pair still in process, released this package for the Christmas sales season. The pair continued to work in the studio together, but again Atlantic Records insisted on the inclusion of David Crosby as the CSN brand increased sales potential greatly, which would result in their next album, Daylight Again. Apparently given his minimal number of writing credits and therefore low royalties, Crosby had no hand in the selection for Replay, dismissing the album as "an obvious money trip, nothing more."

REPLAY the Series

REPLAY is a program created by Gatorade that restages classic games of various sports between the biggest high school rivalries in the United States. The first official REPLAY game reunited players from the 1993 Easton Area Red Rovers and the Phillipsburg Stateliners to replay a 1993 game that ended in a tie. On April 26, 2009, the Stateliners won the rematch with a 27-12 win.

First Official REPLAY the Series Game: Easton & Phillipsburg Rivalry

Separated by the Delaware River, Easton, Pennsylvania and Phillipsburg, New Jersey have had a deep rooted history in football rivalry since 1906. Since then, every Thanksgiving the teams reunite for the rights to the “Fork of the Delaware” trophy.

In 1993, the two teams played a hard fought game that ended in a 7-7 tie. At the time of the REPLAY game, Easton led the series with a record of 57-40-5.

Easton & Phillipsburg Training

Gatorade launched REPLAY in January 2009, bringing together 60 members of the Phillipsburg and Easton teams involved in their 1993 game. The returning players, then 16 years older, came together in a weekend training camp at each school. During this time they began training and practices as well as met with experts from The Gatorade Sports Science Institute (GSSI). Teams also received training from Eagles head coach Andy Reid and all-pro running back, Brian Westbrook at the Eagles’ training facility.

HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I

HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I (usually shortened to HIStory) is the ninth overall studio album and his fifth under Epic Records by American recording artist Michael Jackson. It was released on June 16, 1995 by Epic Records. This is Jackson's first album on his own label, MJJ Productions, and consists of two discs: the first disc (HIStory Begins) is a compilation of some of his greatest hits from 1979 onward, while the second disc (HIStory Continues) is a studio album composed entirely of new material. The majority of the second disc's tracks were written and produced by Jackson, often in conjunction with collaborators.

HIStory is Jackson's most controversial album. Jackson was accused of using anti-Semitic lyrics in "They Don't Care About Us". Jackson stated that he did not mean any offense and on multiple occasions denied anti-Semitism. The dispute regarding the lyrics ended with Jackson re-recording them. R. Kelly was accused of plagiarizing one of the album's songs, "You Are Not Alone". In 2007 a judge ruled that the song was plagiarized and the song was subsequently banned from radio stations in Belgium.
